Gather your financial information.

The more prepared you are, the faster you can get help. Gather documentation detailing your mortgage, your current and past financial situation and the reasons you are having financial difficulty. With that information in hand, you can then call 888-995- HOPE (4673) or your mortgage company to find out if you are eligible for a Making Home Affordable Program. Spending time up front gathering these documents pays off in a smoother, more efficient process.

Act now. Don't delay.

Making Home Affordable has real help to offer, but you must contact your mortgage company or a housing expert to take action. The sooner you do, the sooner you can get on the road to financial recovery. Not taking action can only make things worse. Remember, many Americans have taken the first step towards modifying or refinancing their mortgages, and so should you if you are having trouble making your mortgage payments.
